When we were in the market for a boat we told our buyer broker what our list of needs and wants were. One of my wife's was either an existing washer/dryer or a sufficient space for one.
On a trial for one boat we were interested in, the selling broker was expousing the virtues of the vessel and our buyers broker asked where the washer dryer was (it didn't have them). The selling broker, by his looks and attitude was ridiculing him, we expect based on his priority of value. We saw that interchange.
After that we negated everything else the selling broker said, right or wrong.
Our broker had our priorities in hand and was representing us. The selling broker did not recognize that, and ended up with a non-sell.
It may seem insignificant in the overall capability of the boat - but if it is a top priority of the wife, right or wrong, a selling broker should ignore it at his peril!
